Standard 247mm escort discs with wilwoods will be fine, however if you have the right 15" wheels you can get 310mm discs on there i have a set and the look delicious but a tad big

The photo is a bit big.

i have the smallest disk on the front of the mk and they just look a bit small. and the 4 pot cosworth calipers looks nicer and will stop better with them.

thansk

The reason people go for wilwood callipers is they save so much weight.
